and edited by George William Curtis, presi-
dent Of the Civil Service Reform Association.
The House Of Representatives OF the
foityseventh Congress Is the only Re-
publican House OF Representatives s,uce
that elected in 1872. The civil service re-
form law was enacted by the forty-seventh
Congress. In the forty. eighth Congress thc
Democrats had seventy-seven majority In
the House Of Representatives composed OF
1876 members. An effort was made to
amend the civil service law, and Dorman b.
Eaton, the great high priest OF the order OF
civil service reformers, haunted the cor
rldors Of Congress in support OF the pro-
posed amendment, which was to repeal
those sections Of the Revised Statutes OF the
United States which limit certain classes Of
United States officers to term Of four
years. Hdrper's Weekly supported that
amendment with all its power, and on the
2lst of April, 1884, vote was taken. The
''yeas" were 90, the nays 140, so the amend
ment was defeated.
OF the 140 who voted against extending
the provisions OF the civil service law to q
wider range Of Offices 100 (nearly slx-sev-
enths) were Democrats; Of the 90 who voted
In favor Of the extension of the law which
Eaton and other civil service reformers
favored, SO (or fourseventhsl were Repub-

trouble seems to have been an attempt
Of Agent Williamson to arrest party
ofyou ~ Crows who had been stealing
some horses from the Piegsns on the
Canadian Side. The agent did not
succeed In arresting these men -
/ learned they refused 10 be arrested
aud shot into his house and diappear-
ef Some troops from Fort Custer
were p teeting the agent and proper
ty. This act has aroused the settlers
OF Montana very much. l fear II will
lead to .ome great trouble. The Pie
gans and the Sioux are intrudsrs Of my
people and have spent all their lives in
trying to get the Crows into trouble
but they never accepted their pipe Of
war against the whites. / am afraid
they have accepted at last. I know
for the past thirteen years Of my life
among the Crows they were friends
and helps to the white man. In case
Of war between the whites and Sioux,
the Crow is sure TO be on the white
mans side. No doubt they have
taught Sitting Bull many q lesson; in
this caus. be is always jealous Of the
Crows because they will not tight
against the whites. In q recent
speeck by Sitting Bull before
tho Crows at the monumens
Of General Custer be said that
the Grows are the white mans
slave, and that the government gives
them only half o pound of rations
while he gets pound and half pound
because the white people are afraid Of
him, because he killed their great
chief and don't have TO work but rides
around wherever he pleases." That
shows the lszinsss Of his race. He
saw that Crows were getting lands
and he 1, trying to stop them; he don't
intend to work himself and thirsts
after war. 1 hope the outbreak Of
war will come 10 due time and give
him lesson that be will never forget.

LAMAR's LAMENT.
The Many Abuses OF the Public Land Law
Commented Upon by the Secretary.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-One Of the
most important features Of Secretary
Lamsr's forthcoming annual report is
tne part which relates TO the adjust
ments Of railroad land grants. He
has to-day received part Of bis report
from the public printer and 1t resds az
follows: Shortly after my appoint.
ment to the position I now have the
honor to hold and as I became some.
what familiar with the public land
system, its Organization and the work.
ings thereof, l became more and more
impressed with the fact that the pub.
lie domain was being diverted from Its
legitimate purpose and converted 70
objects the inevitable effects of
which were repugnant to the entire
theory on which the land system was
based. Hpart from the methods Of H.
legal appropriation Of the public do
msin effected through the provisions
OF the several lawA for acquiring title
thereto. 1 became convinced that the
administration Of congressional
grants OF lands to wagon and rail-
roads bad given rise TO enormous
sbuses. Congress had not only made
grants which In some instances ex-
oeeded In extent the area Of . half .
dozen Of the largest and most populous
states Of the union, but in addition
had provided that any losses Of lands
within the granted limits should be
satisfied by selections Of lands within
other and adjoining limits, thus nearly
doubling the area Of the original
grants. Under these acts the land de-
partment had withdrawn from public
not only the granted
limits as inquired by law, but also the
lands within the indemnity limits, at
the request OF the grantee companies.
Thus enormous Quantities Of public
lands were held 10 reservation toawait
the conveyance OF the respective cor
poratlons In the construction OF their
selection OF Its lands and the uncertain
adjustment OF the grants by the de.
partment. l do not for . moment
mean to question the wisdom OF aiding
In the construction OF railroads. That
policy was at that time wise one.
But In the light OF experience II may
well be asked whether 1t would not
have been wiler to have aided these
great enterprises otherwise than by
grants Of the public domain. Though
much good has been wrought. certain
II is that the legislation by which
these vast territories passed under the
dominion Of rsilro'd companies gave
an incursble wound to the homestead
scheme teiors that scheme had . fair
opportunity Of displaying Its bensfi-
cial effects. This land grant legisla-
tior was certainly not in harmony
